its object to provide a doll seated-in a carriage and having its head, arms, and legs so connected tothe axles of the wheels of the carriage thatvupon moving the carriage thefsa'id head,arms, and legs will likewise move. A further object of the invention is to construct a doll having the above characteristics in amanner comparatively less lcostly and which will be more pleasing in faction than those which have been heretofore proposed. i

With these and other-'objects 1n view the invention consists in the novel details of construction and combinations of parts more fully hereinafter disclosed and particularly pointed out in the claims.

Referring to the accompanying drawings 'forming apart of this specication in which like numerals designate like parts in all the views;

Figure 1 is a Sidey elevational View of a doll and a carriage made in accordance with this invention; v

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view in elevation of the parts shown in Fig. 1;

Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view in plan of the parts shown in Fig. 1; and

Fig. 4 is a transverse sectional vlew of the parts shown in Fig. 1 illustrating with greater particularity the connections by which the arms and legs are moved.

1 indicates any suitable carriage or support for the doll; 2 the front wheels thereof; 3 the rear wheels; and 4 any suitable means for propelling the carriage 1. The axle 5 of the front wheels 2 is provided with the crank 6 to which is connected the pitman or link 7 which is pivoted as at 8 to the crank 9, secured to the vertical rod 10, connected as at 11 to the vertically disposed member l2 rigid with the head 13 of the doll.

said member 12 is conveniently housed in'a casing 45 so that it is held in place while the head 13 oscillates from side to side. Also connected to the crank tached asV at 16 to the bellows or noise making device 17 provided with an Opening 18 and a iiap or reed 19 which is adapted to admit air through the opening 18 and to emit a sound when the member 17 is moved 1up and vdown through the `member 15. 2O represents the supports for the forward wheels 2 and 21 represents the supports for the rear wheels 3. These said supports are conveniently made of wooden members fitted into the bottom 23 of the carriage 1 as shown,

and provided at their lower ends with the Vstaples 25y through which the rear axle 26 passes,` Said rear axle 26 is bent to form 28, which in turn is pivoted as at 29 to the connectingrod 30,'which latter is joined as at`-31 to theright hand leg 32 of the-figure 45 represents a wooden standard which supports the members of the doll and to said standard is pivoted as at 46 the legs 32 and 40 and above said legs is pivoted the arms 34 34 and 42, all as will be clear from the drawings.

In operation the child pushes as by the handles 4 the carriage l, which causes the front wheels 2 and the rear wheels 3 to revolve. rlhe turning of the front wheels 2 turns the crank 6 which reciprocates the pitman 7 which Oscillates the crank 9, which oscillates the rod 10 and the member 12, which in turn oscillates the head 13. The turning of said crank 6 also reciprooates the member 15 which moves up and down the member 17 and causes the bellows to produce a squeak or other noise. The rotation of the rear wheels 3 turn the cranks 27 and 35, which reciprocate the members 28 and 36 respectively. The reciprocation of the member 28 reciprocates ythe connection 30 which lifts and lowers the right leg and right arm of the figure. The reciprocation of the member 36 causes the reciprocation of 6 is the link 15 at the `crank'27, to which is pivoted the link' The 'rear axle 26 is also pivsents clothes or other covering for the figure.

the member 38, which raises and lowers the left leg and arm of the figure. rlhe said cranks 2( and 35 being angularly displaced by say 180, as the right arm and leg go up,v

ing from the spirit of the invention, and

therefore we do not wish to be limited to the above disclosure except as may be required by the claims.

What we claim is l. In a toy the combination of a support; front wheels and rear wheels provided with axles turning therewith for carrying said support; a figure mounted on said support having arms and legs, and a head adapted to oscillate from side to side; a vertically disposed member rigid with said head and provided with a crank; a second crank, carried by the axle of said front wheels; a connection between said cranks for oscillating said head as said front axle revolves; a third crank, carried by the rear axle; and a connection between said third Crank and a leg 'and `an armffor moving the latter up and down as said third crank revolves; substantially as described.

2. ln a toy the combination o'f a support; front wheels and rear wheels provided with axles turning therewith for carrying said support; a figuremounted on said support having arms and legs, and a head adapted to oscillate from side to side; a vertically disposed member rigid with said head and provided with a crank; a second crank, carf necton between said-third crank and oneof said legs and arms for moving the latter up and downas said third crank revolves; a fourth crank, also carried by Said' rear axle; andV connections between'fsaid fourth y crank and the Aother leg and arm for operating the latter as said rear axle revolves, substantially as described. i

3. In a toy the combination of a support; front wheels and rear wheels provided with axles turning `therewith for carrying said support; a figure mounted on said support provided with pivotally connected arms and legs, `andhaving a head adapted to oscillate from side to side; a vertically disposed member rigid with said head and provided with a crank; a second crank, carried bythe axle of said front wheels; a connection between said cranks for oscillating said head as said front axle revolves; a bellows yfor making a squeak; a connection vloetween said bellows and said second cranky.T

Vfor operating saidbellows; a third crank carried by the rear axle; aconnection between' said third crank anda leg and an arm'vfor moving the latter up and down 4as 'up andv down -as said 4vcrank revolves, Vsubstantially as described. y
